Why We Can!

National trends and statistics show alarming changes in: Overweight and obesity rates Calorie intake Food and beverage consumption Television viewing

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Why We Can!? National trends show alarming changes in overweight and obesity rates, calorie intake, food/beverage consumption and television viewing. Some startling statistics: In the U.S., nearly one-third of all adults are classified as obese – a figure that has more than doubled over the last 30 years. Perhaps even more alarming is the staggering impact the epidemic of overweight and obesity has had on children. In just 30 years, obesity has more than doubled among children ages 2-5 and adolescents ages 12-19, and more than tripled among youth ages 6-11. This phenomenon has directly contributed to outcomes such as the dramatic incidence of type 2 diabetes in children. This illness was once considered nonexistent in adolescents. It is now estimated to account for up to 45% of newly diagnosed diabetes cases in children and adolescents.

Presentation Notes
Among children and teens ages 6-19, 17.1 percent are overweight according to the 2003-2004 NHANES data (source below). This represents a 55 percent increase from the overweight estimates of 11 percent obtained from 1988-94. Race/Ethnicity “The prevalence of overweight in Mexican American male children and adolescents was significantly greater than non-Hispanic white male children and adolescents” There was no difference between non-Hispanic while male children and adolescents and non-Hispanic black males children and adolescents. Mexican American and non-Hispanic black female children and adolescents were significantly more likely to be overweight compared with non-Hispanic white female children. Between Sexes “ Among children and adolescents ages 2 to 19 years in 2003-004, no significant difference in prevalence of overweight was found between the sexes.” Source: JAMA, April 5, 2006, Vol. 295, No. 13:1549 “Tests of trend using logistic regress adjusted for age and race/ethnicity showed a significant increase in the prevalence of overweight children in adolescents over 1999-2000, 2001-2002, and 2003-2004 (p = .0396 for males and p = .0463 for females).” Rounded to whole numbers on graph 1999-2000, 15.1 and 14.8 percent for 6-11- and 12-19- year-olds, respectively. 2001-2002, 16.3 and 16.7 percent for 6-11- and 12-19- year-olds, respectively. 2003-2004, 18.8 and 17.4 percent for 6-11 and 12-19- year-olds, respectively.

Presentation Notes
We all know the increasing trend in overweight among US children. Between 1980 and now, the prevalence of overweight in children and adolescents has tripled. Latest NHANES analysis 2004 in a JAMA paper released 4/5/06 show 16.3% of children and teens ages 2-19, currently overweight: A significant increase from 14% just 4 years earlier 15.6% of children are at risk for overweight or overweight Certain ethnic groups are at even greater risk, including Hispanic, African American, and Native Americans. Race/ethnic groups also show differences in prevalence rates, with the highest rates in both African Americans and Mexican Americans

Why the Increase? Multiple causes

Lifestyle, environment, and genes

Bottom line = ENERGY BALANCE (calories and physical activity) More calories consumed

Larger food portions and sizes Eating out more often Increases in soda, pizza, and candy consumption

Fewer calories being used up Declines in physically activity Increases in sedentary lifestyle and screen time

Computers and television time

Presenter
Presentation Notes
There are many complicated reasons for the increase. They involve… The environment: Neighborhood, school, and community design and policy Genetics: Inborn diseases, chromosomal mutations, familial traits, and ethnic predisposition Culture: Involving increased risk for minorities Social influences: Especially with respect to under-served populations Attitude: Family influence on nutrition habits and physical activity Medical advice: Doctors not taking an active role The American way of life plays a role, too! Americans are fond of larger portion sizes, eating out, an increased consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, and computers and televisions.

Food Away From Home

Between 1970 and 1995 Food away from home went from 25% of

food spending to 45%

Between the late '70s and mid '90s Contribution of calories from food away-

from-home went from 18% to 34%

Away from home foods shown to be higher in fat and lower in fiber and calcium than home foods

SOURCE: USDA data, Lin et al., AG Bull 750, 1999

Presenter
Presentation Notes
The increase in eating outside of the home has played an important part in the problem. People are eating away from home more often than they did in the past. They are consuming more calories when doing so. The foods they eat outside the home are often higher in fat and lower in fiber and calcium than what they eat at home.

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Looking at the intake of selected beverage consumption from the 1977-78 USDA food consumption survey compared to the NHANES 2001-2002 survey, we see a dramatic decline in milk intake and a dramatic and significant increase in overall intake of sweetened beverages. Milk intake in grams is only slightly higher than sodas. Other food changes over the past 25 years include: very large increases in the intake of pizza (425%) and savory grain snacks (corn chips, crackers, popcorn, pretzels) (320%). Fairly large increases in candy and grain based mixed dishes (pasta, tacos, etc) as well. Of particular concern is the drop in vegetable intake. Down 43% in 25 years. Not exactly the results one would hope to see if we were truly following the dietary guidelines. Another change has been an increase in eating outside of the home Food away from home went from 25% of food spending to 45% Between late '70s and mid '90s…Contribution of calories from food away from home went from 18% to 34% Away from home foods shown to be higher in fat and lower in fiber and calcium than home foods Milk intake is down 39% while intake of fruit juices, fruit drinks, and carbonated soft drinks are up significantly. Soda seems to be replacing milk consumption for this critical age group. The increase is due to both changes in the amount consumed and changes in the percentages of the population who consume the food. Fewer kids are drinking milk, and when they drink it ,they are drinking less.

We all know the concerns about physical activity. Children and adults are not getting enough, and sedentary time is on the rise. Over the last three years, the amount of time spent in front of the computer screen has increased. And as more children have TVs in their bedrooms, television viewing has also increased.

Presentation Notes
With an increase in television watching among youth comes another concern: we know that some data suggest an increase in obesity with the increased time spent in front of the TV. It seems to be particularly prevalent in the more recent data of the younger children. The behavioral targets included in We Can! address each of these lifestyle habits that appear to be related to the rise in childhood obesity.

Environmental Scan A review of more than 50

Federal and non-Federal programs addressing overweight and obesity at the national level

Captures project descriptions, objectives, partners, target audiences, topics, locations, and components per program

Also tracks Federal planning initiatives (e.g., NIH Obesity Research Task Force) and non-Federal initiatives (e.g., IOM Committee on Prevention of Obesity in Children and Youth)

Confirms need for emphasis on parents

Provides valuable list of potential We Can!partnerships for collaboration to reach youth, physicians, and other key audiences

Presenter
Presentation Notes
The third component was an environmental scan, or review, of national programs that addressed overweight and obesity. This activity confirmed a need to emphasize the important role of parents in addressing the problem. By reviewing more than 50 existing national programs and initiatives, it became clear where potential partnerships might be created. These collaborations are key in reaching youth, physicians and other important audiences.

Provides helpful feedback for materials development, channels and possible messages

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Finally, through Hearts N’ Parks, a three-year collaboration between the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and the National Recreation and Park Association, some important lessons were learned. Among them: First, a demonstrated capacity exists at the community level to address overweight and obesity. Second, programs need to target parents and primary caregivers. This and other information from Hearts N’ Parks also helped inform the strategic planning process for We Can!

We Can! Program Description

Target Audiences: Parents and Youth Behavioral Objectives Intervention Settings

Presenter
Presentation Notes
As a result of this process, We Can! was created. We Can! provides activities and programs that encourage improved nutritional choices, increased physical activity, and reduced screen time in youth ages 8-13. We Can! is unique among existing youth obesity-prevention initiatives in its focus on programs and activities for parents and families as a primary group for influencing youth audiences. We Can! has two target audiences: parents and youth. Through We Can!, we deliver programs, host community events and promote media messages that encourage specific behavioral objectives in both youth and adults. These behavioral objectives are encouraged in both home and community settings.

Parents/Primary Caregivers Studies show parents as effective change

agents concerning obesity. The home is a primary source of nutrition for

children. Parents can act as effective role models for

youth. Parents are asking for resources. Relatively few programs are targeting families

and the home environment.

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Parents are a critical target audience for We Can! They can influence what children eat at home and act as effective role models for their children. Parents are hungry for resources, tips, and help. And, with relatively few programs that target parents and the home environment, there is a void that We Can! can fill.

Presentation Notes
Youth ages 8-13 were chosen as a second target audience. In addition to data showing that 16% of children and youth are overweight, there is a high likelihood of obesity transfer from adolescence into adulthood. And health consequences associated with obesity are increasingly being seen in children.

Youth Curricula•Kids Club – After-school, summer day care setting for children (K-5) contains three elements– curriculum, and PA and snack components.

• SMART- Student Media Awareness to Reduce Television –3 or 4th grade classroom curriculum designed to reduce TV and video game usage.

•Eat, Think and Be Active – 10 lessons helping children (11-13) understand the connections between media and health.

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Three youth curricula are being offered to the communities as either after-school or school based programs that they can provide to the children. Two of the three curricula, CATCH and Smart are two good examples of taking research based interventions and putting them to use in the community. CATCH Kids Club, based on the successful in-school program, is a physical activity and nutrition education program for elementary school-aged children (grades K–5) in afterschool and summer care settings. Both the original school-based CATCH and CATCH Kids Club use a coordinated approach to helping children adopt healthy dietary and physical activity behaviors by positively changing the health environments of recreation programs, schools and homes. The CATCH Kids Club consists of three programmatic elements: a curriculum component, a physical activity component, and a snack component. The field-tested materials include a CATCH Kids Club Activity Box, which contains activities for afterschool and community-based programs, and a binder with nutrition activities and snack recipes. Student Media Awareness to Reduce Television (S.M.A.R.T.) is a 3rd or 4th grade classroom curriculum designed to motivate children to reduce their television watching and video game usage. Studies conducted by Stanford University researchers have shown that reducing time spent watching television and playing video games can result in lower prevalence of childhood obesity as well as less aggression in children. The S.M.A.R.T. curriculum was successfully tested with elementary schools in the San Francisco Bay Area. The curriculum is intended to be used over the course of the school year and includes all the lesson plans and tools needed to implement the program. Media-Smart Youth: Eat, Think, and Be Active! is a 10-lesson curriculum funded by the National Institute for Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) that focuses on helping young people ages 11 to 13 understand the connections between media and health. The program uses nutrition and physical activity examples to help youth learn about these connections and build their media analysis skills. Media-Smart Youth brings together a mix of learning formats, including brainstorming, small- and large-group discussions, games, and creative productions. All these activities are intended to create discussion and encourage problem solving and critical thinking. The curriculum includes 10 structured lessons with activities that explore media, nutrition, or physical activity topics. Each lesson also includes a Snack Break and an Action Break. These breaks reflect the nutrition and physical activity content of the curriculum and provide a fun, hands-on way to experience these concepts. The curriculum concludes with a Big Production—an opportunity for participants to use what they have learned to create a media project designed to motivate other young people to take action for better nutrition or increased physical activity. In the process, the youth learn new skills in production, teamwork, and creativity. (add period)

Finding the Balance: A Parent Handbook English Spanish

Presenter
Presentation Notes
The We Can! Parent Handbook has been focus-group tested with adults in three cities. It provides parents and caregivers with information and practical tips on how to offer healthier food and beverage choices and how to increase physical activity and decrease screen (TV or computer) time. The parents who reviewed the Handbook felt that it was very useful and helpful and indicated that the tips it offered were things they could try and implement right away. They also felt the content would help them keep increased physical activity and good nutrition top-of-mind. The Handbook is available in English and Spanish.

Presentation Notes
We have three We Can! core media messages: We Can! is a national public education program from NIH to help prevent overweight and obesity among youth ages 8-13. We Can! reaches parents and caregivers in home and community settings with educational materials and activities to encourage healthy eating, increase physical activity, and reduce sedentary time. We Can! is based on an in-depth review of the leading science-based literature on obesity prevention, an environmental scan of relevant materials from other Federal and non-Federal agency programs, as well as the demonstrated capacity of community-based settings such as those involved in NHLBI’s Hearts N’ Parks program. Media outreach will take place at both the national and local level. We will use a variety of tools to reach out to local media about our program. National media will direct parents and caregivers to tips and information on the We Can! Web site. We Can! representatives are having partnership discussions with national media in representing print, radio, online, and television outlets. These outlets include: Parenting magazine, the National Cable Television Association, Black Entertainment Television (BET), Univision (Spanish language), and others.

We Can! Partnerships

The We Can! partnership goal is to work collaboratively with others to build synergy on preventive strategies and an array of outreach efforts.

Through partnerships, we can most effectively leverage resources and channels to disseminate We Can! messages and materials to parents, caregivers, and youth ages 8–13.

Presenter
Presentation Notes
On a local level, we are working to build partnerships with groups like yours to build synergies and strengthen our outreach activities. Partnerships are a crucial tool for us to meet our goal of building awareness of and action around youth-related obesity prevention. They are essential in reaching as many parents, caregivers and youth as possible.

Partnerships The role of each We Can! partner will vary

because every collaboration will be designed/crafted to channel the partner’s natural strengths, networks, and influence at the community level.

Involvement by individual groups will depend on any existing programs the partner might already have in place, the resources the partner can contribute, and the partner’s own infrastructure and reach — We Can! wants relationships to be win-win situations!

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Each partnership, including ours, is designed around the Partner’s or Supporting Organization’s network, strengths, and constituency. Groups that already have existing programs are encouraged to incorporate We Can! messages into outreach activities, though having an existing program already in place is certainly not a requirement of participation in We Can! The program will work within any resources the partner may be able to contribute and within the organization’s infrastructure and reach.
